Former Ofsted chief inspector Amanda Spielman criticized proposed education legislation in England, claiming it could negatively impact child welfare and reverse two decades of progress in school autonomy. She argued that the new bill prioritizes unions over children, contrasting it with the previous system's success. Spielman voiced concerns regarding the government's approach, particularly in light of a tragic incident involving a primary headteacher. The government's spokesperson responded by attacking Spielman’s tenure and urging her to reflect on her leadership instead of criticizing the reforms.
Speilman emphasized, “For over 20 years now we've had a steady policy of giving schools and academy chains quite significant levels of autonomy, balanced by strong accountability…”
No 10's spokesperson rebuked Spielman, stating, “She should spend less time criticising the reforms this government is bringing and more time reflecting on her failure…”
